Projects take place in early childhood education institutions. They consist of set of activities in which children explore and study deeper topic or problem and in this way they can better understand their own experience and the environment around them. They can last from few days to several months and each project is unique and unrepeatable. They are often used in educational work because it is believed that children learn best from their own experiences. Project activities can cover a variety of topics, depending on the interests of children or the plan of the preschool teacher. One of the topics that were analyzed in the paper appear in project activities published in the magazine „Dijete, vrtić, obitelj“, 1999.-2019. Learning history at an early age has benefits for the child because it helps to develop awareness of the knowledge of time and chronology and to get acquainted with cultural and historical heritage. Methods used in the separate projects are: storytelling, physical experiences, dramatization and meetings with the elderly and use of resources in the local community of which, according to the analysis of 11 projects, the methods of physical experiences, dramatization and encounters with the elderly and the use of resources in the local community were used the most. Most projects were initiated by children's interest, and less by the initiative of preschool teachers. As for the participants, kindergarten professional team, staff and external associates participated, but mostly the parents of the children. The activities were diverse and were carried out inside and outside the kindergarten, and most of them were activities in local places, for example visits to museums. Good cooperation is important in the development of the project because together we provide children with numerous opportunities for quality learning, development and progress.
